Hi Terry, after using edit-pane-csv for some time now, I have one big wish left: it would be great if Leo could remember the settings for each file, at least for @clean nodes. Ideally the csv pane would stay open for these nodes.
I have many csv files around, which I need to maintain manually on a regular basis, so it would be nice if Leo could remember the settings for each of these files, and it would be even better if I would not have to run the command edit-pane-csv on each file every time after I closed the associated Leo file.
